You don't need to go to a portfolio school if you have work in the industry long enough. Start making spec work, if you get along with the creatives in your agency ask to brainstorm with them and actually pitch your ideas to the CD's, once a vacancy opens you'll have a portfolio ready to jump. Just remember you might have to start as a junior.

I should have clarified - are there any agencies/opportunities that marry the two together?

Agree with AD 1, if you want to be creative go to portfolio school. That's where you will actually learn to think like a creative.

Which one? They're two opposite ends of the spectrum.

Maybe pharma?

Portfolio school if you're actually serious.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working as a contract TAS for 6 months in a medical device company. I started part time and as it became busier/my trainer quit, I became full-time. I applied for the TA position through corporate and would like some insight. the company is short staffed and my site specifically does not have good TA retention. For the salary expectation, I put in 85k which is in the range. I’m currently at 64k which is below the minimum of the range. Is this realistic?

Growing up was rough. On my 8th birthday my dad had an accident that led to this death a few days later. He was a good man who took care of us all (I had 3 siblings now 2; lost 1 few years ago). I'm in a good place in life right now I only find myself in the last 5years shedding a tear once a while when I'm alone. It startles me because I was a tough kid who didn't cry and just soaked it all in and rolled with it. I'm almost 40 and can't explain what's happening with these tears.

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
